For far less than the weight of a CMU you can find a tiny danforth
style that will have a lot more holding power.
That can make a huge difference at the end of the day if you are
pulling this up every hour or so.
If you are anchoring in a rocky area and think you will be losing
anchors you can make one with #4 Rebar that will bend itself free on a
hard tug and if it is really stuck, you are not out much if you cut it
free.
I have seen them tied up with baling wire but I usually welded them up
when I was banging them out for fishermen I knew. You can also put
this on an expendable rode.

But Greg. The block was standard equipment when I bought the boat....

I know what you're saying if you use it a lot, that would get
obnoxious.

Besides, the CMU more closely fits your image, even though by now you've
collected millions from our Nigerian partners.

But Tim doesn't let those millions go to his head!

Do you carry a spare anchor in case it chafes through the clothes line
it's tethered to the boat with. There isn't a red neck marine supply at
every bend in the river you know. ;-)

(There are a few things about Tim's boating that he should keep to himself. Private-like, if you
know what I mean.)

You just drift fish until you come across another construction site
near the river.

Exactly!!! Or look for a BFR!
